I'm ignorant about MFC, but it doesn't sound likely that the code would
somehow be destroyed. Here is a test for you!

// This goes inside the OnPlay3 function.
static int count = 0;
++count;
// Do something to display the value of count.

At any rate, the rule is that each thread need to call srand. So, if MFC
does create a new thread each time (I doubt it), then yes you would need to
call srand each time. Otherwise, no.
